Abstract (en)

Described are a printing apparatus and a printing tape cassette for use with this printing apparatus. The printing apparatus combines within one apparatus a first printing region (10) for the printing of ordinary paper and a second printing region (20) capable of preparing a lettering tape (17). By combining the two printing regions within one apparatus, several elements of the apparatus may be used in common, thus simplifying the overall structure of the apparatus and allowing a simplification and cost reduction of the control device. The two printing regions are disposed adjacent to each other, both within the shifting range of a carriage (4) mounting the printing head (1). <IMAGE>
